Wouldn't that depend more on the nature of that ultimate significance or consequence? It might not be orders of magnitude better, it may not even be better at all, if a persons purpose had ultimate significance or consequence.
Say, that a person and their purpose amounted to xenocide. In what way is it better (let alone orders of magnitude better) that this persons purpose or meaning was of ultimate significance or consequence?
-just to add to the above, it;s the kind of question we have to ask ourselves, since a dry reading of some natural teleology might indicate that our purpose is to out breed, out compete, and ultimately out survive all other life - at the very least. Our natural purpose may, in fact, be xenocidal.
Just repping for the benefits of human transience, lol. We only live so long, so we can only do so much damage.
