One of the pros and cons of human beings is that we can’t all fully agree on everything. Sure, it’s awesome cause it makes us all unique and sets us apart, but it also causes mass conflict.

But one thing that would be nice? If every single person on planet earth could grasp incredibly simple concepts. Imagine a world where people didn’t touch people that didn’t want to be touched, or where everyone knew where their garbage went, and how to better manage their waste? YAS THAT’D BE DOPE.

Unfortunately, a lot of people out there don’t grasp insanely basic concepts. Pregnancy? Some people don’t know how to avoid it or make it happen. Driving? There are still people out there that don’t know how to merge lanes or use their dang blinkers. Being nice? OMG SO MANY PEOPLE SUCK.

So, please, if you or anyone you know is unaware of any of these 25 basic concepts, read and share and learn.

These 25 concepts are incredibly basic, yet many don’t understand them:


1.

Basic cash flow: If you spend more than you make, you’ll never have extra money. The majority of people are staggeringly bad with basic personal finance.

2.

How babies are made. Some overestimate how easy it is to get pregnant, others underestimate it.

3.

You can like something and admit that it’s bad. You can dislike something but understand/respect why it’s good. So simple but people just don’t get it.

4.

Radiation.
