Which (possibly all) of the VNM axioms do you think are not appropriate as part of a formulation of rational behavior?

I don't think that rational behaviour as understood on LW (basically, instrumental rationality) has anything to do with VNM axioms. In particular, I do not think that the VNM model is an adequate model of human decision-making once you go beyong toy examples.
