The need/desire for survival is the motivator for virtually every human activity throughout history. So I don't think we've ever met it, let alone exceeded it. Need/desire for survival is the same as fear of death - two sides of the same coin. It motivates humanity as much as it ever has. Even the most inane, human daily activities are linked it to the fear of death. It directs everything. Of course our task is to realize death is an illusion because self is an illusion.

Exceeded in the sense of the vast intelligence we have today compared to a far more dangerous age when we were one more ape on the landscape with the intelligence on an ape.
