Updating isn't always bad....
I'm constantly smashing the modern Github mode that forces constant continuous updates, leaving no room for thinking and processing and plain old life.

I need to remind myself that machines and ideas do OCCASIONALLY deserve updates. When new facts are observed, some ideas can benefit by incorporating the new facts. When new manufacturing methods or materials are developed, the devices that use those materials and methods can benefit by bringing in the new. These changes need to be SLOW AND CAREFUL. Both ideas and devices need a few years to test and phase in a major new development.

Some things never need updating. Natural Law, dealing with morality and economics, was determined by thousands of years of do-or-die experimentation. There is no new genetic material since Natural Law was settled, so Natural Law doesn't need revision.

Convective thought:

It's unfortunate that astrology didn't get updated in the 1840s when magnetism was systematically understood. Astrology is based on a limited set of observations about gravitational fields, expanded and rigidified into a system that has one or two good functions and a lot of crap.

If astrology had been updated to include magnetic and electrostatic fields, we'd have a much better tool for understanding natural changes like climate, and behavioral changes in humans. It's clear that the changing geomagnetic field, linked solidly with the changing solar magnetic field, is solely responsible for climate.



Madame Polisztra illustrates a Magnetic Zodiac.

Astro-scale magnetic fields also affect the functioning of our brains, in ways that are not yet understood. Neurologists in the 1840s were starting to explore magnetic effects, but their discipline was derailed around 1900 when Freud and pharma kicked out all other modes of treatment. This branch of science returned around 1980 and is making fast progress, but it could have been 100 years farther up the timeline if the pill-pushers hadn't tinfoiled it.

Types of magnets and inductors (not all shown in Madame Polisztra's diagram) immediately suggest personality types. Air-core, iron-core, variac, tapped, bar, resonant, permanent, superconductive, three-phase, transformer, relay, load coil ....
