Broadening the perspective and letting in more information is the way to solve problems, rather than try to work out a solution within a given framework.
Eventually there is no truth except the full truth.
The society is based on combination of truth and power, and the effects are sometimes strange with unlikely winners and losers. The ideal society is based only on truth.
One reason why the society is not already based on truth is that truth is difficult to see. There is a natural problem. This is traditionally increased by human secrecy, bad communication and will to deceive.
However, with the increasing interest in the workings of mind, the last obstacle to awareness is challenged.
Understanding the different functions of mind, including the extremely elusive but powerful long term effects, will clear the way to a just and free world.

So it seems 2
In a materially based world view it seems we can accept one-sided truths.
It seems quite correct to say, when we see a house: It is a house.
But this is an one-sided truth. The other side of the truth is: "This building is in decay".
The house might stand for decades, so if we look at the material facts it is acceptable to see it as a house.
On the mind level, however, the decay of the building is going on all the time. If the house still stands there 30 years from now it is probably practically a new house, with new roof, new walls, new paint, new heating system and so on.
On mind level, the stability of material reality is not present so we see reality as a process in constant change.
If we know about this change, we can not accept temporary and adventitious observations as basis for our decisions. We want the full picture, including all ups and all downs.
