Your unwarranted criticism of OM and your refusal to accept it as the key that opens the door to the future is a position that you will come to regret, for OM draws the horizon line the sharpest. The nature is not able to create plastics, for example, yet look around yourself to see this material aplenty. If OM had existed some five hundred years ago, it would have offered a hypothetical look into atom binding. To let such mundane things as the furniture walk toward the future is a sign of a context-dependent-only reasoning that may support the present well, but it's impotent to bring about the future.
The progressive future is altered present, otherwise the future becomes stagnating present inherited from the past. It is OM that lifts the lid on the pot of opportunities that no one would even dare to dream of; it is OM that can dress all tabus and impossibilities for the appointment with the wonders of the future. Here is an example of a bold move toward the future that only OM can make.
We can take the ribonucleic acid, RNA, and change its biochemistry the way nature couldn't accomplish even in trillion years; we can change RNA into RNI and introduce the molecule into a present organism through gene slicing and recombination:
(RNA => RNI) and (FUTURE /splice => F U - - - T U R E)
Now we insert the modified molecule into the symbolic organism called "future." Ta-daaaa . . .

I think it's an Organic Massage bed -- something that would relegate back-pains into medieval history.
