I think the materialist monists need to aquaint themselves with Wheeler's delayed choice experiment, which upholds the Copenhagen Interpretation of QM, the "difficulties" of which are resolved only by positing a monistic idealist framework (consciousness, not matter is primary).
If you wish to argue against this, you are forced to argue that the human being, as a free will causal agent, is nothing but a "thing" or an "it"
From what I've been able to gather, there are only three possible interpretations or outcomes from QM

If the photons can be aimed to go through the slits, why can't they be aimed at a certain place on the wall?
