All good points and perhaps I am reading too much into a Facebook post, but I would conjecture that there are, effectively, two "realities" and the issue is a lack of lexical differentiation...
Our human civilization "reality" is as divorced as we have managed to make it from real, objective, reality. Finance, trade, technology, social norms... all of these comprise an objective reality despite not being the objective reality... global financial systems are utterly simulacra at this point, yet if they fail, people will starve and die as certainly as if a drought kills all the food in real reality.
Online interactions... at this point much of it is done with computer programs that are nearly indistinguishable from humans... this is a "false" reality but it affects society as much as the objective one.
That is where I say the OP is true... by creating perceptions and emotions and group ideas, people affect the absolute mortal reality that we live in despite it not being the objective one.
The objective one is always obscured to us, we have increased the complications of our "divination rituals" with machines and mathematics, yet it is still a faith-act to describe objective reality.
