I don't see where your reply fits in. The article isn't claiming anything that you seem to be in opposition of? It doesn't say what reality is (whose anyway?).

I don't see where your reply fits in. The article isn't claiming anything that you seem to be in opposition of? It doesn't say what reality is (whose anyway?). It points out mechanisms. With those mechanisms anything is possible, from Hitler to fantasy land. Example: Describing the laws of physics doesn't give any description of whether you stand in a wasteland or in a paradise. Either one is built upon the same rules. The rules the article mentions don't rule out the worst much-less-than-cooperation outcomes.
