Now for the serious answer.

The paradox exemplifies some of the problems with the original
formulation of set theory.  As a result, set theory has reformulated
to not allow such paradoxes (i.e. the set of all sets is not possible).

So, in effect, the Barber is no longer around.  His existence has
been expunged in the manner of terminating a character in a TV show.
