Is there any path forward to fixing the current reproducibility crisis in science? Individuals can do better, but that won't solve a problem at this scale. Could we make systemic changes to how papers are validated and approved for publication in major journals?

Yes, but nobody wants to acknowledge the elephant in the room. Once again, this is why defunding research has gained merit. If more than half of new research is fake, don't protest when plugs are being pulled; You're protesting empirical results.

Science (including all the fake stuff) advanced humanity immensely. I can not imaging that cutting research founding to do less science (with the same percentage of fake) is helpful in any way.
