i use the ‘-’ (instead of a comma or slash) to emphasize that whatever things-concepts-feelings-etc. are being listed are not wholly/metaphysically different from another (as a separation via comma would rather imply). The ‘-’ also implies a separation, but of intensity, not existence. It articulates the fact that aspects of reality are different from another, while stopping short of essentializing their differences / using their differences to claim they have separate essences/existences. It instead makes the connections inherent in difference visible (by creating an indeterminate ‘-’ chain).
