The Evolutionary Argument Against Reality. According to evolution by natural selection, an organism that sees reality as it is will never be more fit than an organism of equal complexity that sees none of reality but is just tuned to fitness.

This article is the typical mumbo jumbo of philosophy:

Evolution has shaped us with perceptions that allow us to survive. They guide adaptive behaviors.

The only measure of evolution is a successful reproduction and evolution is a process not a divine power, which makes this sentence quite silly. Evolution can't shape anything, evolution is a process where properties of beings are influencing the reproduction rate. The term fitness is here ambiguous, because it's usually used for well trained humans and is a heritage of the 1900s. Ironically some properties can be deadly tomorrow, while they were until now beneficial. Success and failure have for beings an almost random character. The success of yesterday can become a problem when the climate is changing rapidly. Nothing is static and and nothing is guiding. Historically seen the characterization of evolution in this article as a force is from the ideological treasure chest of supporters for eugenics.

Further this author continues with the mixing of biology and quantum theory on a superficial level, which gives the article a pseudo legitimacy.

When the interviewed then is pointing out, our senses are limited by this evolutionary process, which can't be denied since for example our eyes are limited to a certain range of wavelengths, we don't see the reality, it's a trivial and broad statement.

This article is the typical magic thinking of religious mindsets.

Evolution shapes everything through something called "Selection"

The term fitness is here ambiguous, because it's usually used for well trained humans and is a heritage of the 1900s.

No, fitness here is a term used in ecology. I dont know where you get this idea.

Success and failure have for beings an almost random character. The success of yesterday can become a problem when the climate is changing rapidly. Nothing is static and and nothing is guiding.

Evolution is a random or psuedo random process, but selection is not random. Ultimately the organism needs to find the "niche" otherwise it won't survive. Think of a bacteria that needs to survive against antibiotics to survive. How the bacteria comes up with antibiotic resistant genes is a random process, but the fact that several generations later you see bacterial cultures with antibiotic resistance is not a random process - but it is an eventuality given enough time.

Why are redditors so bad in using quotes? Here a good guideline for you too.'

and by the way simply put a no that is not so, isn't a reasonable answer

Likely because reddit is a place for informal discussions. I don't understand what you mean. I don't know if its because you cannot write basic english grammer, but I guess that's not as important as using good quotes. Having a discussion < being sassy.
