How can you determine there's no evidence these mechanisms convey to us anything that resembles what actually is when accetance of such assertions you can have no grasp of what 'is' in the first place?
To know your perceptions aren't reflecting something truthfully you have to know already what that 'something' is anyway.
Word salad posing as philosophy.
We know for a 100% fact that our senses don't represent reality truthfully. That's what illusions demonstrate, and the effect is so strong that you cannot consciously compensate for it.

We do we really, REALLY know? That we have experiences, and that there are commonalities among them that allow us to see meaning
in repeated patterns.
