"In matters of the large scale, then, not only are we cogs in the machine, we must do our best to treat others as cogs in the machine and not special, in order to be appropriately ethical and to build societies that actually work for everyone's benefit."

Yes, I use deliberately provocative language, to the extent it's kind of not true (you don't want to *blatantly* treat others as cogs in the machine, to their face), but it's a principle that's quite central in western civilization. Consider "nepotism" at one extreme, and consider ideas like "rule of law vs rule of man". Justice being blind etc.
