I was trying to think of how to keep the idea of inversion/otherness that the statement 'the catastrophe is none of the above' was intended to imply, hence the scrambling capitals. But perhaps just have said statement at the bottom of the text as we first thought.
Aphorisms:
1. The catastrophe is profane. [Or, thecataStropheisprofAnetheCatastROpheiSprofANetheCaTastrophe
isprofane]
2. The catastrophe is hysterical
[Or, thecatastRopheishystEricAthecatastropheishystericaLl
3. The catastrophe is democratic [Or, thecatastropheisDEmocraticthecataStroPheisdemocraticthecatastrOphe
isdemocraTIC]
4. The catastrophe is desired. [I give up for now]
5. The catastrophe is cancerous.
6. The catastrophe is a utopia.
7. The catastrophe is vacuous.
8. The catastrophe is benign.
9. The map of the catastrophe is blank.
10. The catastrophe is a liar.
11. The catastrophe is in hiding.
12. The catastrophe excludes you.
And some of the possible combinations:
The catastrophe is a hysterical fiction.
The catastrophe is a lying desire.
The catastrophe is an unknown known....
