Maybe as a sentient intelligent society we have more values that are needed to be considered a success, but as a "species", as part of nature, survival is the only true requirement. Our accomplishments in terms of society, civilization, knowledge and so forth are just too insignificant in the grand scale of things, and especially are meaningless if we, as a species, don't survive.
