Okay, let's say that's the solution. A) people en masse haven't studied those topics adequately so far (empirically), so even if all students were to have adequate education in philosophy and math, there would be a multi-generation lag between today's problem and the solution taking effect.
B) Any plan that requires everyone ("people") to do something is a non-starter. Okay so let's say it doesn't have to be everyone, but some critical mass. Maybe enough people such that a simple majority become effective fake-detectors, and then their skills would be a social filter for the ones who don't have that skill. How do we keep the other 30%, say, from being taken in by a charismatic huckster and becoming an isolated faction with their own fork of factual reality? Asking for a friend.
