Race, intelligence and genetics: colonialism in the era of neurotechnology
1Institute of Biological Sciences, University of Brasilia, Brasilia, Brazil.
Abstract:
Unequal access is not the only or even the main ethical challenge concerning neurotechnological advancements in the Global South. Epistemic sanctioned discourses on cognitive abilities are powerful and have been used to subdue and marginalize people. Aside from better understanding and preventing exploitative scientific practices, further investigating the historical relationship between colonialism and science is a necessary step to avoid reproducing structural injustice on ethical and legal frameworks to neurotechnology. In this sense, this paper discusses a conceptual matter on neurotechnology that demands further attention, namely the role that intelligence discursively plays in colonialism and racism.
