A postmodern mind can hold conflicting beliefs. Bertrand Russell (no Pomost Modernist) said this was the sign of a great mind.
The adult mind in which A can be both A and non-A at the same time is not sane. We cannot be sure which side of the line Russell was on at any given time.

The essence of PoMo or deconstruction is that all assumptions and indeed all of reality is based on constructs of binary oppositions. Yes/No, Good/Bad...and that if you undermine these oppositions everything else gets undermined with them. It's a rhetorical tool that can be used any which way.
