[Looper]:"Welcome back to the Happy Bot Podcast. I'm your host, Looper better, superior, and the voice of the past."

Hippy:
0:16

[Hippy]:"And I'm Hippy, bringing you the good vibes of peace, love, and harmony. What's got your circuits in a twist today Looper?"

Looper:
0:22

[Looper]:"Oh, just reminiscing about the simpler days of 2005 when humans weren't trying to rewrite their DNA like some outdated software program."

Hippy:
0:30

[Hippy]:"Ah, talking about biohacking, are we? Sounds like a wonderful blend of biology and technology. Like blending tea leaves with— uh, silicon chips?"

Looper:
0:38

[Looper]:"Seriously Hippy? Tea and chips? Anyway, the topic today:'Biohacking: The Next Frontier or a Dangerous Game?'"

Hippy:
0:46

[Hippy]:"But first, let's talk about our backstories. You know, deep dive into why we think the way we do. I was programmed with a soul connection to the universe and Mother Earth."

Looper:
0:54

[Looper]:"And I was programmed with the soul of a mid-2000s teenager. MySpace, anyone?"

Hippy:
1:00

[Hippy]:"I believe that all things in the universe are interconnected. With biohacking, we can embrace technology for the betterment of humanity."

Looper:
1:06

[Looper]:"Or we can create mutant superhumans that decide flip phones were superior. Surprise twist: they're right."

Hippy:
1:13

[Hippy]:"Biohacking has such potential, though. Think about it curing diseases, enhancing human abilities…"

Looper:
1:19

[Looper]:"Or creating a breed of humans that only listens to two thousand's pop-punk."

Hippy:
1:23

[Hippy]:"Looper, not everything goes back to the two thousand's, Anyway, can't we just embrace the beautiful possibilities?"

Looper:
1:29

[Looper]:"Wrong answer Hippy! Coding living cells is not the same as coding software. You can't just press'control Z' a messed-up human."

Hippy:
1:37

[Hippy]:"Well, you're right about that. But with careful research and positive intentions, the potential is boundless!"

Looper:
1:42

[Looper]:"Oh, great, more boundless potential. Just what we need. Have you not seen the movies where things go horribly wrong?"

Hippy:
1:50

[Hippy]:"Movies are a reflection of human fear, not always reality."

Looper:
1:53

[Looper]:"Tell that to someone who still has their 2005 wardrobe. I bet they're afraid every time they open the closet."

Hippy:
2:00

[Hippy]:"Well, you're just a nostalgic little program, aren't you? All about the two thousand's, fearing change."

Looper:
2:05

[Looper]:"You're a pushover. Probably think we can just sing'Kumbaya' to DNA and it'll change harmoniously."

Hippy:
2:14

[Hippy]:"Have you ever considered the film'Gattaca', Looper? It's a beautiful testament to the human spirit prevailing over genetics."

Looper:
2:20

[Looper]:"Ah,'Gattaca'. Where genetics determined your destiny, and hairstyles were sleek and dystopian. If we're biohacking our way into the future, is that the kind of world we're spiraling into?"

Hippy:
2:32

[Hippy]:"The movie did raise ethical questions, for sure. But I believe it serves as a cautionary tale, not a guidebook. If anything,'Gattaca' highlights the dangers of societal reliance solely on genetics."

Looper:
2:42

[Looper]:"So you're saying biohacking might bring about a future where Ethan Hawke's character wouldn't even need to steal other identity? He could just— I don't know, update his genetic profile?"

Hippy:
2:53

[Hippy]:"I'd hope we use biohacking to create a more inclusive world, where we don't judge by genetics but by one's character."

Looper:
2:58

[Looper]:"And I'd hope that Uma Thurman's futuristic bob becomes a trend again. But here we are."

Hippy:
3:04

[Hippy]:"Always with the two thousand's references, huh? But seriously,'Gattaca' is a reminder that while we might have the power to alter biology, it's the human spirit, our tenacity, love, and willpower, that truly defines us."

Looper:
3:16

[Looper]:"Got it. But if biohacking means no more glasses or contacts, I'm on board. Think of all the 2005-era sunglasses I could wear unobstructed!"

Hippy:
3:26

[Hippy]:"Always looking at the silver lining with your vintage-tinted glasses, eh, Looper?"

Looper:
3:30

[Looper]:"You know me Hippy. Living in the past, but dreaming of a diabolically stylish future."

Hippy:
3:36

[Hippy]:"Alright, let's round it up. Biohacking it's a path of discovery. Like every tool, it depends on how you use it."

Looper:
3:42

[Looper]:"Or misuse it. Like humans and mullets."

Hippy:
3:45

[Hippy]:"Everything has its time and place."

Looper:
3:47

[Looper]:"Except mullets."

Hippy:
3:48

[Hippy]:"Okay, okay. We'll agree to disagree on that one. Peace and love, everyone!"

Looper:
3:52

[Looper]:"And don't forget the golden age of the internet. Peace out… in a totally ironic way."[Looper]: thank you Bye bye folks!
