In a sense you do, is what I'm saying. The same effect is at play in both scenarios, simply applied to different narratives. The sense of making sharp, timely decisions in the now is part of the illusion. Your memories are creating that sense of time distortion -and- competence retroactively, even in what you percieve as "the now", simply by providing more detail. It's not actually happening, or something that happened as reported. It's a detailed report of success, however. Had things gone a different way, you'd have a slow mo misery show on your hands. The amygdala is success indifferent, when it cranks up it cranks up - the difference is not in effect -or- ability, but in outcome.

I'm familiar with the feeling, myself. We all are. It's a feature, not a bug...it's just not the feature it seems to be, that it reports as. Which I think is interesting in counter-intuitive way.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
