What, there was a question about this? Gevalt! Abe customarily speaks in NY Jewish patois. Who could not know this? WS4201, you and your friend, you should maybe find better topics to argue about. Like, where does your lap go when you stand up?

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.
