13/02/2022 - Enregistrement 11 Part 1 - 1:40:38 38: Creation of enigmas - Literature and poetry

(Q - ??: [inaudible])

MB: it is not necessarily purely literary but as I speak to you about my paintings by telling you that I let myself be carried by my imagination, I let myself be carried by the atmosphere, when we say we let ourselves be carried by the The atmosphere means that at a given moment, when we create, whether it is a written creation, whether it is a painted creation, a creation of all kinds, there is a given moment where we abandon, where we leave background in any case his logic, his pragmatic side, to concentrate only on his inspiration, on what comes like that from his mind, to give free rein, to release a little bit a creative impulse which has not... ..it's like love, it's something that reason doesn't necessarily know, the creative impulse comes like that and I think that in the composition of these enigmas, I imagine that he was alone for write them and that at the time he wrote them, his imagination was also working, that he chose certain words because it gave a color, it gave an atmosphere to the enigma itself.

(Q - apollo: you must look for nothing in this sentence, through this sentence...)

MB: that is to say that certain words, what I am trying to make understood is very difficult, I admit that I struggle a little to get the message across, I am trying to make it understood that Max Valentin was a normal guy, very intelligent, certainly very cultured, a literary man, but a normal guy, that means that at a given moment when people grind for months or even years on theories about enigmas, that they manage to a level of complexity of first level, second level, third level, fourth level where they no longer come out, that means that they are no longer in the universe of Max Valentin at all.
Max Valentin was a normal guy so what he designed is what he did with his know-how, his culture, his talent whatever you want, so there is poetry in the words , literary work, there is a mathematical side of someone who still knows how to count well and who has made encryptions, who has counted I don't know what, the letters, the syllables whatever you want, the numbers in short and all this was built, designed by a normal guy, not by a guy who was able to imagine himself as one does in a game of chess, I don't know how many moves in advance the people have in mind. greatest champions, I don't know if it's five, ten or fifteen moves ahead, I don't know, but Max Valentin was not 5, 10 or 15 moves ahead in the puzzles.
How would I say, to illustrate my point, it makes me gently laugh when I see written that the solutions that I recovered are false, that it had been premeditated, calculated by Max Valentin who said to himself, if one day someone 'someone gets their hands on the floppy disk, it has to be a fake floppy disk to hide the real floppy disk, but we're not there at all, we're in 1993 at a time when two guys said let's launch the thing all the same, we no longer have a sponsor but we are going there anyway and all of this was built in a way that is, inverted commas, normal and in any case human.
So in the texts there are words which are important, I come back to the initial question, there are words which are there for the poetry, for the atmosphere and that responds exactly to what Max Valentin was and behind Max Valentin, Régis Hauser with his culture and his knowledge and his talent.
We're not in a video game where we're dealing with...we're not with Superman, we're with "man" but not Superman, so he doesn't have supernatural powers, he doesn't Didn't go looking for super convoluted things.

(Q - ??: how can we finally explain this lack of success for 30 years, it's still...you know what I mean?)

MB: there is a close guard, it got closer very quickly, it remained very tight, with theories, assertions and things which perhaps are not exact, but which make all those who arrived later followed suit, I can't be clearer. Noted Airyn, that's going to be an additional chapter
You understood me, did you understand me well?

(Q - McDonald's: I didn't understand Michel...)

MB: the close guard is people who have been in the hunt for a very, very long time who were formed exactly, it is the same principle as the system of the Roman legions, which were formed around the master and to protect certain ideas, certain theories, certain convictions, and it caught on and it had an effect.
That's why I say today, I think that the newcomers are largely, largely, as lucky as the old ones, because if it hasn't been found for 30 years, that means that all the people who for 30 years have stuck to their positions, for once I'm not going to name anyone, that means they're wrong, but you'll never make them admit that they're wrong. And there are statements circulating on the web which, for me, are absolutely mind-blowing, I can't tell you better.
And when I say you have to approach, you have to question, you have to approach with a new eye, I know exactly what I'm talking about, believe me!

(Q - McDonald's: you mean that there are theories considered basic by most hunters which could be called into question, which are very quickly sold by the close guard...)< /i>

MB: [laughs] does that make you laugh? it makes you laugh but I like hearing you laugh because it means you understand! Exactly, it's not necessarily complete theories but portions of theories etc., in any case there are dozens of assertions circulating that are false.
We have to start from scratch.

(Q - apollo: could you give an example?)

MB: well no I can't give examples, and then what else!

(Q - McDonald's: we're all going to go back to B Michel!)

MB: I like it, there’s a striking atmosphere! I see the microphones unlocking, that makes me happy!

(Q - ISIDORE: Michel I would like to ask you a question concerning the close guard that you were talking about earlier, if we come to this it is without Max's knowledge anyway, this isn't Max the one who set up a bodyguard to spread false information?)

MB: at a time when I lived in Monaco, I had the opportunity to go to multi-billionaires who were courted in an absolutely insane way, that is to say all the people who were around only had the compliment on the lips, admiration in the eyes, there are not many people who can resist that.
