Who is researching this topic without losing sleep, and who reports on this crap in such a blasé manner lol.
Without knowing more about the research, my gut tells me that it has been a tad sensationalized. Very little research is actually directed towards a specific goal in mind from the get-go. Normally, there are people researching a specific topic, reporting their findings, and then speculating on potential applications.
So if I had to guess, there's some company/institution/organization researching neural interfacing pathways or brain augments or something like that, a hypothesis that introducing X, Y, and Z conditions can alter one's perception of time, and then under potential applications they list "accelerated prison sentences" as one such possibility. Then suddenly you have sensationalist news articles about how researchers are developing a dystopian system to make 1000 years pass in 8 hours for prisoners.
This is likely going to end up in the same manner as the dozens of "Scientists may have discovered a cure for cancer" articles that turn up every year.
No-one was researching this topic. This interview came out of a philosopher’s ass. https://alexandrite.app/feddit.de/comment/9260446
I had a feeling it was mostly bad reporting. I appreciate you confirming it.
