The pessimistic approach is to claim that there is no solution to the riddle.

The optimistic approach is to blame language.

For example, the common belief in language is that language is either true or false, especially statements. Saul Kripke declared that there is true, false, and (NEITHER), claiming that the liar paradox was neither true nor false, and that the sentence is at its most basic form supposed to be true or false, but by having a direct subject it would be taken to a higher level of truth or a lower level of falsity, whereas it remains at the same level due to the paradox, and is neither true nor false. therefore (neither) statements exist.

It's an optimistic view of language but there are other views also. lol.

thanks for your insight LM.
