Hey everyone. My is Berner and I came here on recommendation of a current user of the site. I've never really read a lot of philosophy but I've been starting to lately.

I'm 24 and from the frozen wasteland known as Saskatchewan. I recently obtained my B. Sc. in Chemistry. Along the way I've co-authored a few journal articles in the field of Computational Chemistry.

Computational Study of Tungsten(II)-Catalyzed Rearrangements of Norbornadiene - Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation (ACS Publications)

Nitrous oxide dimer: An ab initio coupled-cluster study of isomers, interconversions, and infrared fundamental bands, and experimental observation of a new fundamental for the polar isomer

Currently I work for a worldwide company (not going to say which) as a Chemist. I play guitar in a progressive death metal band called The Fifth Dawn. I also love Futurama as is evident by my avatar.

I'm what you would call an agnostic atheist/materialist/naturalist. I'm not too keen on metaphysics but I'd like to read more about it to get a better understanding of the subject.

Anyway yeah I've enjoyed some of the discussions I've seen here so far and I think I'll like it here.
