The thing you are describing is not the opposite of writer's block. It's something orthogonal to it, at least in my experience. I'm also quite capable of stringing together endless seemingly coherent texts about anything when there are no true personal stakes involved.
However, when trying to tell a story or covering a subject that I really care about, that's a whole other ball game.

You just filter the crap out, shape it, and you have the base for something great. The good old advice of "just start writing" is easy to follow when words flow naturally. And it works.
