Ahhhh, this is a fun topic. I’ll need you to confirm with me every step of the way in order to fully grasp the paradox.
Consider every single word in the English language, they can be sorted into two categories, words that describe themselves, and words that don’t describe themselves.
Words that describe themselves are called homogenous, and words that don’t describe themselves are called heterogeneous.
Following so far?

Well I’m just gonna assume you understand.
The word “hot” does not describe itself, so it is heterogenous.
The word “black” does describe itself, so it is homogeneous.
Every word either describes itself or does not, besides the word heterogeneous.
If you define it as being homogeneous, then every word that doesn’t describe itself does describe itself! If you define it as being heterogeneous, the same thing happens!
That’s a complex thing to understand, so ask for clarification if you need it.

If you have a head of sand and you take a single grain away it is still a head if you keep taking it away until there is only one grain of sand left it is no longer a head when did it stop being a heap of sand?

Were you stating the right as correct, then of course the side saying true
