I think about it a lot. The term is eco-psychology. You should look into it, it's really interesting! You're right to say that we have evolved alongside nature

I think about it a lot. The term is eco-psychology. You should look into it, it's really interesting!
You're right to say that we have evolved alongside nature, and it is really only since the industrial revolution that we have fully diverged from the natural world. We live, eat, breath, sleep, and dream completely man-made everything. Things like Google can exist, because of our collective imagination and effort to sustain it.
What that means for us is that we are ignoring our biology and the habitat we have evolved to thrive in. We think we are all geniuses because we've created this artificial landscape, but we still have barely scratched the surface of our own bodies and how they work and why.
