Why would he therefore advocate something so preposterous and so disrespectful of a lot of men

What kind of question is this? There a lot of rubbish posted on the internet. Despite the stuff about sex bots, writing like: "In 15 to 20 years time, cranial implant technology will enable humans to overcome many of their idiosyncrasies and bad behaviors—making a new generation of very wholesome and exemplary children. In fact, going to college may be replaced by downloading higher educations into our brains." doesn't look like a serious analysis.

Learning is an active process. It's a process of engaging in critical thinking. It's not simply replaced by a download into the brain.
