I'd argue the solution towards a better society is figuring out how to eliminate trust all together, rather than trying to figure out how to make it more widespread. The issue isn't, "lack of trust", its that different groups of people place arbitrary trust in sources of authority that are perceived by them to be legitimate. The answer is to promote universal skepticism and reliance on the Socratic Method in all things. Trust nothing, verify everything and value logical consistency above all things.
