An event where an otherwise highly intelligent and gifted person deviates from their often impressive and potentially lucrative talent (either from outside pressure or impulsive miscalculation) and compromises their talent and self in a spiraling path of self-destruction. Often occurs in the absence of not having fellow geniuses to maintain a healthy environment of intelligence. Often in, the absence of great similar minds or stimulation of intellect, a great mind will often turn against itself and implode. This is not to be confused with mad genius or evil genius as these concepts are completely opposed.
