"Three generations from now to majority vegetarian seems a little fast to me."
I would have agreed with you until very recently -- I lived in CA when the proposition to legalize gay marriage failed, just a couple of years ago. I figured we'd be waiting twenty years for that one. Similarly, in line with your point, I lived in NYC in the early 2000s when bars were smoker sanctuaries; even after smoking in bars was made illegal everybody was still doing it when I moved. Now it's impossible to imagine smoke in bars, and when I was last in Buenos Aires I couldn't believe people could still tolerate the practice. All of this has increased my sensitivity (or perhaps bias) to 'idea[s] whose time has come.'
"By the way, will I be still able to eat insects? I think WRT to emotions, they're basically organic robots, no?"
A lot could be said on the topic, but knowing what I know I am totally fine with eating insects. Can't really see that one changing.
