Truth cannot be anything,

implies that it's not the case that truth can be any particular thing, so no thing in the class at hand is true. That which isn't true is false. That which is false doesn't exist. Therefore the class at hand is empty. It is assumed to contain something at least falsities, so either your statement is vacuous or there is no truth. So your statement can't be true.

What's better than IP?

Truth seeks nothing, and we are not capable of certifying Truth,. We seek it through the application of machines of thought called rationalism, reductionism, and determinism. We attempt to construct order and purpose from an existence which is both chaotic and meaningless.

The machines have worked well when applied to the physical world where effects have causes, but at their limit we still find uncertainty and free will. Applications beyond the mere seeking of truth and the examination of the way reality is, to the shaping of what reality ought to be - leads inevitably to the fatal conceit... eh.
