We should remember that we are all in this together; mathematics is a marathon, not a sprint; and the goal is and always will be the human understanding of mathematics, which will invariably take time.
What is worrying me the most, at the moment, is actually the (in)security of cryptography. Finding algorithms breaking standard cryptographic protocols is a number theory problem whose difficulty does, to my non-expert eyes, not significantly exceed what these systems are now capable of. And it would have disastrous consequences on society if such an algorithm is found.
