Glancing around it seems quite apparent that we’ve done exactly that.

We adjusted our culture, but our brains are likely the same as they were before the mega-cities came into existence. My point is that we shouldn't necessarily judge the technology by what's "natural" to us, i.e. "VR isn't going fly because we're social creatures".

"Evolved == went on" to live in big cities vs "evolved == adapted as an evolutionary process" to live in big cities, etc, are two very different things.

Evolution adapts to present conditions, not future conditions, and on a time scale of millenias. It chanced into a feature set that let us change our environment much faster than that. We're still adapted to the lifestyle we had many thousands of years ago.
