What it means

A philosophy professor explains that philosophy has always been dialogical and involves two people. The joke shows Socrates writing long, complicated speeches while his interlocutor simply replies “yes,” making the famous Socratic dialogues look comically one-sided. It is used as a reaction to overly elaborate explanations or conversations where someone agrees without contributing anything.
