I'm not so sure about that.

…u’re traversing, and — the detail that always blows my mind — the gravitational pull of the planet. No matter where you’re heading, you’re doing it on a ball in space spinning at about 1,000 miles per hour. Your brain has to account for that motion.

I'm not so sure about that. Our brains should only have to account for motion relative to the earth's rotation. The vestibular system, including the liquid in it, are moving along with it. It's only changes in that motion that the vestibular system would likely sense.
