The concern was voiced that Zermelo assumed transfinitely many successive choices, where one choice depends upon another, and that this was unacceptable.

2004, Lisa Robin Marks, The Axiom of Choice, Berkeley: University of California, page 35:

It was very radical because he also claimed that symmetry is a feature in mathematics and reality that is not just an infinitely accurate property, but a transfinitely accurate one. Like the modern idea of fractals—where we have this Mandelbrot type thinking of everything repeating itself all over again not just infinitely many times, but in such a way that the surface around it is transfinitely large.

[…] within metropolitan democratic societies like Britain, peripheral groups, however defined, seldom have access to significant institutions in a manner sufficient to bring about a reallocation of power and resources. Such groups consequently remain unrepresented, under represented or tokenistically represented in the dominant social institutions.

Brands are always looking for ways to engage new audiences in order to grow revenue. That’s marketing and that’s business. However when they decide to get on board ‘a purpose’ and align with an aspect of society, they must be careful not to do it tokenistically. There has to be a reason for them to align that makes sense, otherwise they risk alienating people as it will ring false.
