Interviewer: “How to improve the World (You will only make Matters worse)” is not a very optimistic title. John Cage: But it’s very classical, it comes from Chuang-T’se in China. And it was the response of Chaos to the question that was put to him by one of the Winds. He wanted to know how to improve the world. And Chaos was simply hopping around like a bird and he was silent three times and finally he said: Oh, you will only make matters worse.
