About Conceptually
We started Conceptually because we realised how powerful concepts were as tools for grappling with and simplifying the messy realities of the world.
We weren’t taught the breadth of concepts in school we saw as crucial for understanding how the world works, so we created this list of concepts with a simple explanation and applied examples.

Ideas costs nothing, but can change how we see the world. We hope this website does the same: costs basically nothing, and can hopefully change how we all see the world.
