The term sustainability is broadly used to indicate programs, initiatives and actions aimed at the preservation of a particular resource. However, it actually refers to four distinct areas: human, social, economic and environmental -- known as the four pillars of sustainability.

Sustainability focuses on these three core areas because they all have an impact on the environment and society. Social sustainability is concerned with the relationships between people and how to create a society that is equitable and fair for all members. Economic sustainability focuses on the creation of a viable economic system that provides for the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Environmental sustainability focuses on protecting natural resources, ecosystems and habitats, and minimizing the impact of human activities on the environment.

Humans use their intelligence to manipulate their environment in order to achieve their objectives and complete their mission. This can involve a wide range of activities, such as building tools, constructing shelters, and creating strategies to solve problems.

Computer scientists and economists use the term 'utility' to describe how happy an agent is. Utility is a measure of satisfaction or preference, and it is used to evaluate an agent's satisfaction with a particular outcome. Utility can be used to determine the optimal decision or action for an agent to take in order to maximize its satisfaction. Reference:

Collaboration, learning, and iterative are terms used to describe agile projects. Agile projects are designed to be adaptive and flexible, allowing teams to incorporate feedback and learn from their mistakes. This process encourages collaboration between team members, and emphasizes the importance of iterative development and continual improvement. Agile projects focus on delivering value quickly and efficiently, allowing teams to make changes and adapt to changing customer needs.

Prof David Chalmers describes the hard consciousness problem to be as complex as the universe. He argues that understanding consciousness is as hard as understanding the universe itself, due to the number of variables and dimensions involved. He has compared the complexity of the problem to that of turbulence, quantum mechanics, and psychology, but believes that the problem of consciousness is even more complex than all of these.
