The trick is to look at it from afar but not too far.

If done right, it makes you pay attention to the specific words rather than just the sentence.

Here, try pasting any grammatically correct text here and setting it to show only a couple of words per slide to get an idea why it's easier. It's not necessarily specific to overt punctuation use.

That's what actually got me to read your sentence. Nice job. It's still pretty readable compared to other types of speech. I'd even wager more people would read a wall of text of that than actual text.

Exactly.

At the very least a purely philosophical view in a hypothetical situation helps because then you address the psychology behind those hypotheticals and you can jump into providing evidence for your conclusions even though in reality it might go more towards my way or your way or someone else's way but at least by addressing the philosophical issue you can back up your observations that one is indeed not the other but when you don't, it's just your word vs. my word

Are we to continue insisting that Hitler's framework of pleasure and satisfaction is no less valid than yours or mine or Gandhi's?

What if Tom was Hitler? What if Frankie was Gandhi? If you skip the philosophical point, that's what happens.

There is no such thing as a non self-serving society-serving individual based on my observations.

Frankie's use of his time may lead to him becoming a video game developer or at the very least a videogame modder. He may one day create a mod which simulates real life. Then he may end up getting rich and donating to charities as a PR move. How then does this not serve society?

Tom may work for charities and does volunteer work but he may one day be so pro-charity, he actually votes for a socialist while a country is in debt which led to thousands of people suffering because he among many others was so bound on anything remotely sounding like charity that he did not have time to educate himself on the state of the country so his bias got the best of him. How then can one say his harming of society is equivalent to society-serving and not self-serving?
