If time dilation is said to being a product of computation, why is it that anaesthetic drugs that are taken not to the point of actual unconsciousness cause it. Dont anaesthetics sort of shut everything down/inhibit all that kind of cognitive activity (compute?)

"Time dilation" in this case is referring to the physics phenomenon from Einstein's special relativity. Not human perception.

Yes. Or at least that is what I understood from the Radiolab episode on “how do aesthetics work”
