History Class to Online Philosopher

12 year olds after middle school history class: Them when they’re 20 and spent a lot of time online:

A young boy reacts seriously after a middle-school history class, then the clip cuts to an adults-only black-and-white interview scene where a bespectacled man becomes increasingly animated and bewildered at a table with flowers. The joke is that a child’s early exposure to history supposedly turns them into an intensely online, overthinking adult who reacts dramatically to everything. It is used as a reaction to mock excessive internet theorizing or pseudo-intellectual behavior.
