Does evolution keep tabs on society? And if so is it an act of God simply adjusting and adapting us based on what he sees?

Not sure if I understand your question. Evolution is not an intelligent process. It doesn’t keep “tabs” on anything. It is simply a way of saying that inherited traits that promote survival and mate selection will increase in number in the population.

A. What does this have to do with ex red pill?

B. That's not how evolution works. There is no "keeping tabs." Evolution is a description of what happened and an attempt to see what might happen. There is no intelligent design to it. It's just genetic variation + selection pressure or genetic drift = change. (There is also a bit of atomic randomness involved when atoms decompose and cause mutations on their own, but that's a really complex subject that took me a whole semester of work to understand)

C. That's not how people who understand evolution and believe in God generally try to reconcile the two. The theology gets complex, but the upshot is that most evolutionary scientists who bother to reconcile the two don't think God is watching and interfering as things go along. They think the complexity of the evolutionary system we observe is compatible with a God who created a vast and complex universe, and that complexity led to life and the process of evolution.

evolution doesn't "do" anything other than occur. it isn't sapient and it doesn't have a goal. it's just a thing that generally inevitably happens

Evolutionary Psychology is pseudoscience, let it go.

I’m not sure what you mean, but I think so?

I feel like a lot of mental illness has become more common due to society glorifying it in a lot of ways.

I could be way wrong though. I don’t have math or data. I’m always open for corrections.

Evolution wise, intelligence always wins against raw strength. Life is not fair, but there are no rules. It’s not an arena where opponents have the same weapons. In other words, if you’re very thin and weak, and your adversary is taller, very buffed etc, you can win by carrying a gun and shooting him.

The world doesn’t make sense. And many things are just wrong and unacceptable. The biggest proof that god doesn’t exist are religions. Everyone thinks very different stuff, sometimes even the opposite… if you just look the world, life and many things, you’ll just see the imperfection
