The presenter reckons that the main cause of unsolved conflicts and problems is of psychological character and is connected to the dominance of regressive thinking and the basis of this problem lies in the education system.

The scientist suggested that this would be reflected on such indicator as the United Nations Happiness Index. Today, Georgia ranks 128 out of 156 countries (World happiness report).
