<p>A Monad is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors, what's the problem?</p>

<p>The real sentence was:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>All told, a monad in X is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors of X, with product × replaced by composition of endofunctors and unit set by the identity endofunctor.</p>
