Is the speed of thought in that state, the clarity, the perfect perception... I can see why it is an evolutionary benefit to have it happen... but why not have that state of mind be the default? Why only have it switched on for a few seconds at a time during an emergency?

Is it too costly to the body and mind in some way?
