The moment we manage to cover the "education gives us control over our impulses" part for a majority of the population, democracy would truly work to our benefit. Although some may not actively rely on whatever they may have learned in a math class, they may still use some of that information to form intuition and subliminally guide them in their thought processes. Engineers who studied or practiced the arts in some portion of their lives may subliminally transfer some of their learnings from that domain into their work as well. Simply arguing that one doesn't need higher math because they don't actively use it is therefore unfair.
