Rationality is frequently associated with making the best possible decisions. It's widely acknowledged that humans, as rational beings, have limitations in their decision-making capabilities. Nevertheless, recent advancements in fields, such as, computing, science and technology, combined with the availability of vast amounts of data, have sparked optimism that these developments could potentially expand the boundaries of human bounded rationality through the augmentation of machine intelligence. In this paper, findings from a computational model demonstrated that when an increasing number of agents independently strive to achieve global optimality, facilitated by improved computing power, etc., they indirectly accelerated the occurrence of the "tragedy of the commons" by depleting shared resources at a faster rate. Further, as agents achieve optimality, there is a drop in information entropy among the solutions of the agents. Also, clear economic divide emerges among agents. Considering, two groups, one as producer and the other (the group agents searching for optimality) as consumer of the highest consumed resource, the consumers seem to gain more than the producers. Thus, bounded rationality could be seen as boon to sustainability.
