"Curb your enthusiasm" is the sardonic thing one might say to someone who yawns when you’re offering a critique of Kant's "Critique of Pure Reason." Btw in this age of gaslighting a categorical imperative is what Is missing from the current monologue. Larry David is one of a generation of comic antiheroes that make the experience of failure a success. Imagine a Clint Eastwood type dealing with the fact that someone at the golf club hasn’t paid back the $5 and is belligerently dismissive when reminded. Does the .44 Magnum really fit into this scenario? The genius of both Curb and Seinfeld is that it's one size fits all--with no exception made for heroes.
