I’m curious what you interpreted the meme to be about. From your comments here I can’t tell if you think it’s meaningless or if you think it’s some excuse made to justify … something?
It’s just an expression of how listless one feels when their last hyperfixation lost its sparkles and a new one hasn’t cropped up yet. It’s not that challenging to grasp, for those who’ve experienced it. It’s not a choice, either. One day you feel intensely driven to read/watch/create/engage with everything about one particular topic or through one particular hobby, but then the next day -poof- the feeling is gone. And in that moment you feel empty, unsure what to do next.
It’s not boredom. It’s not laziness. It’s a temporary sense of directionlessness that you have no control over.
