(Do what you want)
I can place a statistical value on human life.
I can think of how it is good for them to live.
I know the benefits their survival imbues upon both me and civilisation
And yet at anything deeper than this objective level I really could not care whether people live or die.
Outside of my little 'friendship group,' despite knowing how it is beneficial for you to survive, I couldn't really care whether you do or do not.
Am I a bad person?

Methinks you are generalising slightly too much. Without other people, the world would be a very dull place - like how you said the other day, without doing lots in your life, there's nothing to converse about. Just like if there were no other people except your little friendship group, nothing would happen... there would be no room to make new friends, cuz there would be no-one to introduce you to them. No teachers, no family, no Avon lady! And to be honest... with no parents, you wouldn't be here either. They are a very important thing to us! Don't take people for granted :)
