Are those who focus on "externals" subhuman?

Epictetus, Discourses, Book II, Chapter 22:
"Just ask whether they put their self-interest in externals or in moral-choice. If it's in externals, you cannot call them friends, any more than you can call them trustworthy, consistent, courageous or free. You cannot even call them human beings, if you think about it."
