Yes, it's a metaphor from the Steve's article:

Interesting article. I hadn't seen that before. Thank you.

A couple of things come up for me. One is, you could apply that tiny glimmer of interest you have toward finding intellectual motivation and see if you can get it to grow. Perhaps if you break down what is blocking your motivation, that process will have the same disintegrative affect on your block as it did on your original motivation.

Another idea popped into my head as I was reading Steve's article. Maybe you just need to allow yourself to be in your unmotivated state for a little while. From the sounds of it, you were a hyper-motivated person for a long time. Perhaps there is value in sitting back and just Being for a bit. Anyway, it would be an interesting exercise, and who knows what might come of it.
