The philosophical question has to do with fundamental limitations of 
axiomatic systems when applied to human behavior.

I'm always on the lookout for "case evidence" for where an axiomatic 
system is able to fully determine human behavior.  (The book discusses 
the failures of Walden 2 and the Soviet Union).

The point is, there's something humans can do that's not expressible in 
a set of axioms.  Everthing always comes down to pragmatism (i.e., I 
still have to scan it quickly but it's better than...)
