I ran out of culinary inspiration years ago and don't cook anymore, but I want to get back into the habit and git gud at it again
How do I get back into the swing of things? Time was I'd watch the cooking channel (food network is shit), read through menus of gourmet restaurants and then dig through my library of cookbooks but now I have no tv, my cookbooks are in storage and I don't even know any big name restaurants anymore

Same for me, although I still cook I haven't made anything new for a long time. Whenever I watch a cooking show it's stuff that I already know how to make, or it's just something ridiculous that I don't want to make. Reading old recipes from thousands of years ago was interesting for a while though, if you haven't done that.

I just mainly help other people with their cooking now. I want lab-grown meat and fun new GMO foods to play with. I think I would have more fun again with new ingredients like those.

Start simple.
Perfect your cheese omelette technique. Obsess about that fucker like an autistic Japanese hikikomori.
Once you are 100% sure that you could make the perfect cheese omelette without breaking a sweat while under enemy fire, make one for others you know/love. Take their praise on board.
Then move on to scrambled eggs, poached eggs, custard, quiche, roast chicken and so on, keeping it simple but perfect at every step.
It's very common to burn out on the ridiculous culinary arms race that Americans seem to have where a dish needs 14 exotic ingredients and three different cooking techniques to be worthy of praise.
Go back to simplicity and perfection.
