The Feremgi Philosophy can be easily applied to Thai Dinosaur Poliititians in this way
The old Thai Polititians philosophy, the pursuit of profit at any cost was the guiding principle for all traditional all old Thai Polititains. With the invention of currency and the concept of profit approximately 10,000 years ago The old Thai Polititian's philosophy began to evolve toward the pursuit of material wealth. This guiding principle became so basic to old Thai Polititians that it was eventually codified in the Rules of Acquisition.
