* BalancePowerSkillGimmick: Most of the various classes fit four meta-categories: Blue-collar, who mostly do manual labor, white-collar, who specialize in managerial and administrative work, grey-collar, who combine aspects of both types, and pink-collar, originally used to describe female-only classes before it was recategorized as service-oriented. [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Designation_of_workers_by_collar_color Other types exist, but they're not as universally agreed as the main four]].

* EvolutionaryPressureCooker:
** [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_gardening Atomic gardening]] was a practice in TheSixties where seeds were planted around a source of gamma radiation. The ones next to the source died, the ones close to it had hideous tumors, but those far away had their genes modified to a non-lethal extent by the radiation, and were grown in order to determine if these genetic mutations were of interest (weather/pest resistance, size, crop yields, etc.)
** Marine biologists have begun [[https://conservation.reefcause.com/assisted-evolution-is-this-the-key-to-coral-reef-survival/ using a variation of the approach]] in attempts to save the world's coral reefs from human-caused climate change: by rapidly breeding more heat- and acid-resistant coral polyps and symbiotic algae in controlled environments, then releasing the specimens into the reefs, they hope to save one of the ocean's most fertile biomes from collapse.
