John disconnect from human life.
As John said earlier in the book about Sally, she was the only thing keeping him connected to reality. How does his time on earth as a human mean nothing to him? Although it was an accident and he probably should be dead, why would he not want to help the people he was born around. If human life was so meaningless to him why would he help the United States fight a war against the vietnamese? It was the interview on national television that changed his opinion. While he is not human, I see that he still has human emotions and that is why Sally Jupiter is able to convince him to not let earth get destroyed.

I agree. Reading Chapter 10, Jon explains his disconnect with the world, but I as a reader struggle to understand how he thinks humans are useless if he was a human originally. This still is confusing to me, unless he 'forgot' human emotions. I would argue Jon still has human emotions, due to his constant flashbacks in the past couple of chapters, of his dad, and scenes with the Comedian. I think Jon has emotions, but would feel less of a superhero if he behaved as one of the 'meaningless' human beings.
