Hmm. Well, he said he doesn't feel anything about having hurt people, most of the time. Well, that could be just an accurate observation of the normal human condition. We all feel bad about things we've done in the past, but not all the time most of the time, like Jack, we feel nothing. On the other hand, it could mean something. It could mean he doesn't have a soul. Now, Donatello doesn't have a soul, but when he finds himself at a moral crossroad, he just asks himself what Mr Rogers would do, so maybe this season's going to be about Jack choosing whose example to follow. Having said that, there are things that Jack clearly does care about: he cares about his mother, he cares about being accepted by the Winchesters. This implies he does have a soul. But, then, it could all be an act. But the scene with Mia suggests it isn't an act, because that was an outsider pov. Jack didn't need to pretend he cared about his mum with Mia.
Still, I think Jack does have to turn bad at some point, or at least make some really awful choices, or there'd be no drama. If he follows Sam's path, he'll then have to sacrifice himself to be redeemed. On the other hand, maybe having been through all this once, Sam and Dean will save the day by helping Jack to avoid making the choices that'll make that sacrifice necessary and, instead, he'll ride off into the sunset with the Wayward Sisters and become Cas.2 in the new show.
