In one of HBO's promotional videos for the eighth season of Curb Your Enthusiasm, Larry David appears as Godzilla, walking through the streets of New York City, terrorizing everyone who sees him. People scream and run for their lives. Larry, meanwhile, has a quizzical look on his face and asks, 'What, are you people nuts' There's something very apt about this image. It captures one of Larry's defining characteristics. But what exactly is it What makes Larry a monster, and why doesn't he know that he's a monster Curb Your Enthusiasm and Philosophy discusses philosophical answers to these questions.
