We argue that Gödel's Programme, understood as the search for new axioms possibly extending ZFC and ultimately leading to an exhaustive description of the set-theoretic universe, is destined to fail.

Initially motivated by the discovery of independence phenomena, Gödel's Programme seeks to identify axioms A such that ZFC+A resolves interesting independent questions and is maximal according to some canonical justification method. Various axiom justification approaches -- intrinsic and extrinsic justification, Maddy's naturalism, consistency strength, interpretability power -- have been proposed. However, they face at least two issues: uncertainty and mutual incompatibility.

Uncertainty arises when a justification method J ranks theories ZFC+A and ZFC+B equally, yet they describe vastly different set-theoretic universes. Mutual incompatibility occurs when two justification methods J and Q disagree, i.e. when J ranks ZFC+A higher than ZFC+B, while Q ranks ZFC+B higher than ZFC+A.

A possible solution is to apply multiple justification methods, but the order of application influences the outcome, still yielding incompatible theories. Another is to scrutinise the philosophical motivation for J and Q, justifying a particular order of application. We explore these possibilities and underpin them with examples. We argue that this issue is particularly challenging for the universist.
