Isaac Arthur covered how it might be possible to slow down the human perception of time in one of his trans-humanist videos. It involved speeding up the human brain through artificial augmentation.

This kind of tech is certainly a double-edged sword. On the one hand you could think of it as a path to post-scarcity. In a world where that sort of tech exists you probably also have full immersion VR. You could live in a virtual utopia as an immortal being. On the other hand, genuine sadists like Peter Scully could abuse this technology in truly hellish ways.
