How To Develop My Rationality?

[SimpleGuy]

Hey, while Leo deconstructs rationality, I`m at the stage of development, when I need the opposite. Because I`m quite green without strong orange foundation.

So, question in the title as says. Thanks!

LessWrong.com is a den for rationalists.

Also, read the two rationality books from my book list.

Thanks.
Btw I don`t have booklist because I can`t pay for it. I live in Russia

Be willing to have a good faith discussion about ideas, even if you might not like or want to be challenged.  This is a value of doing good philosophy: You welcome discussion, and even good faith criticism.  If you just want to be right, you are not doing philosophy.  

[gengar]

Learn the laws of logic and the scientific theory and apply it in your daily observations and assumptions and what you see on the news etc
 

[Joseph Maynor]

Good faith encourages bombardment of the why question from others with an over-eagerness to answer.  This is the extra pain that integration of Philosophy requires.  

[Joseph Maynor]

If someone does not want to have a good faith discussion, they are not doing philosophy they are doing authoritarianism.

Explain to me the rational from this

Every second, you move about 230 kilometers through the galaxy. And you never feel it.
We picture the solar system like a clock: planets circling a Sun that stays put. But the Sun does not stay put. It is racing around the center of the Milky Way at about 230 km/s (828,000 km/h), carrying every planet with it. After one year, Earth is back at the same point in its orbit, but the orbit itself has moved: you are more than seven billion kilometers from where you started. One lap of the galaxy takes about 230 million years. The last time the Sun was here, the first dinosaurs were only just appearing.
And we do not travel unprotected. The Sun's wind streams outward at around a million miles an hour, inflating a vast bubble around the entire solar system: the heliosphere. It deflects roughly three quarters of the galactic cosmic rays that would otherwise reach us. Its edge is so far out that Voyager 1, launched in 1977, needed 35 years to cross it (August 25, 2012, at 121.6 AU).
And here is the surprise. Most diagrams draw a shock wave out front, like a boat cutting through water. There isn't one. We drift through the interstellar gas at just 23 km/s, too slow for a shock. Only a gentle bow wave.
So the next time you look up, remember: you are riding inside a bubble, sweeping through the galaxy, and you have never once felt it move.

I mean, this are rational explanations of where we are. Even if we have no direct experience of this. Is like: I am writing this in a beach, in an exact day at 11:06 via a eletronic device ( and I can even describe the whole rest of details around me plus my own body and how I feel in the moment) 

And at same time the video shows I am traveling inside a solar bubble around a black-Hole. 

How rational is that?
