So at some point, I'd expect you must have read Stenger's article "Quantum Quackery:"
Modern physics, including quantum mechanics, remains completely materialistic and reductionistic while being consistent with all scientific observations.
Furthermore, interpretations of quantum effects need not so uproot classical physics, or common sense, as to render them inoperable on all scales - especially the macroscopic scale on which humans function. Newtonian physics, which successfully describes virtually all macroscopic phenomena, follows smoothly as the many-particle limit of quantum mechanics. And common sense continues to apply on the human scale.
