Jean-Jacques Muyembe is a Congolese doctor heading up the response to the current Ebola outbreak in Congo. Back in 1976, he was the first doctor to collect a sample of the virus. But his crucial role in discovering Ebola is often overlooked. NPR's East Africa correspondent Eyder Peralta helps us correct the record.

The Daily Signal - Native Venezuelan, Now Proud American, Warns of ‘Fruits of Socialism’
In the 1980s, Patricia Rucker’s family left Venezuela, planning that her father would work for a time in the U.S. “Venezuela to me was the most perfect country you could have on this earth,” Rucker recalls. “Not only beautiful weather--beautiful people, very moral, very safe, very free, never had an income tax. The Constitution of Venezuela was modeled after the U.S. Constitution.”
But the family’s plans changed, even as Venezuela fundamentally changed. ”Hugo Chavez was able to win an election by making promises and sowing envy, telling folks you should have what others have, you should have whatever, the nice houses,” Rucker warns. “You should get this, you should get that.” Now a U.S. citizen and a West Virginia state senator, Rucker is speaking out about the dangers of socialism.
We also cover the following stories:
- The House Democrats announce the next impeachment step.
- President Trump criticizes FBI Director Christopher Wray.
- Most Americans didn't talk politics at Thanksgiving.

Philosophers In Space - 0G84: A Subway named Mobius and Emergent Properties
Well, the level of meta connections involved in these show notes has gotten so interconnected it has formed a singularity of infinite metaness. If you're reading this you're sadly trapped in the meta and will not be able to escape until things get a bit more straightforward around here. We read A Subway named Mobius and Jeremiah Traeger joined us to discuss emergent properties and how absurd they are as a term of art.
