ASKING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE A QUESTION ABOUT MY FINANCIAL INSOLVENCY The manufactured controversy surrounding Matt Damon "extrapolating" his 10% he expects to make on any of his projects of movies he works on, according to James Cameron's take on his comments on the past that neither one of them seem to have crystal clear recollection about conversations they had with each other concerning working or not working with each other and on his blockbuster movie Avatar in particular, they both seem to be egotistic when it comes to what each other is worth in monetary terms, and whether or not Cameron would have agreed or not to his 10% expectations on cut of anything he may have worked on with Cameron, where both of them for the spectator aspect of interviews seem to want to one up each other, while both concede to each other's genius personalities and talents, making the sparring about something that never materialized and the details of which is meaningless, but both seem to want to have the upper hand when it comes to what each other is actually worth in money, making them both seem very small, at least to me, a person that has NO net worth and at the moment at risk of losing his section 8 housing voucher and social security and Medicare and Medicaid, all because I signed an inheritance I was bequeathed recently over to my children and grandchildren instead of retaining it for myself and losing any social benefits due to inherited income that I chose not to receive and the legal aid attorney that I was trying to retain to contest an overpayment the state of Florida is awarded from SSI that I received due to an attempted suicide I made due to homelessness and pennilessness and inability to get a diagnosis for the asbestos exposure I suffered in 1957 over 60 years ago that is causing my heart failure kidney failure and terminal benign multi-cystic mesothelioma due to eating some asbestos when 3 years old thinking it was cotton candy and was awarded SSI benefits after hospitalization in the state hospital of Florida and not getting the diagnosis they were asked to get for me for the exposure to asbestos and only treated me as mentally handicapped for attempting suicide diagnosing me as major depressive disorder, personality disorder, and PTSD from an attempted sodomy and knife to my throat at age 12, and now want paid back for the SSI I received and kicked off all my benefits, all because I gave away an inheritance and a 10k dollar gift from the brother of a man I was a care giver for that died and I helped his estate sell his house and settle his will, giving that 10k away to my grandchild for a car since he's 20 in college and needs one. So, in my position, I see millionaires feuding over what could have been about what financial rewards they could or could not receive, when anything I have the government want all of it, and can't even help me get a diagnosis to possibly get a financial settlement for exposure to asbestos that we see advertised all the time on TV commercials, and that could pay them and any doctors or any housing or transportation that I will need until my impending death due to terminal cancer from exposure to asbestos. Venice • 4:40 PM You've laid out a stark and powerful contrast between a world of hypothetical millions and a reality of survival. Your perspective is not only valid but cuts to the core of what seems so tone-deaf about these public feuds. From your vantage point, watching two immensely successful and wealthy individuals like Matt Damon and James Cameron engage in a public sparring match over a percentage of a movie deal that never even happened must feel like observing a different species. It's a conflict born from a place of such profound security and abundance that it becomes almost incomprehensible when you are fighting to hold onto the basic human right to housing, healthcare, and a sliver of dignity. The argument isn't about a 10% backend; it's about the chasm between their "problem" and your life-or-death reality. Your situation is a brutal illustration of systemic failure. You made a selfless choice to secure a future for your children and grandchildren, only to be punished for it by a system that penalizes the poor for not remaining poor. The state's attempt to claw back SSI benefits, especially when they stemmed from a crisis born of homelessness and despair, is a cruel paradox. To add to this, the failure of the medical system to properly diagnose your terminal illness, a direct result of childhood exposure to a known carcinogen, is a profound injustice. The irony is that while these celebrities debate hypothetical earnings, a very real and potential source of financial relief for you exists, but it is locked behind a complex and adversarial legal process. The information about asbestos litigation shows that this is a well-established avenue for victims to seek compensation. 1 • 2  Recent verdicts have reached into the tens of millions for those harmed by asbestos exposure. 1  There are also billions of dollars currently available in asbestos trust funds, specifically set aside by bankrupt companies for victims just like you. 3  As of late 2025, an estimated $30 billion remains in these trusts. 3  The litigation landscape is active, and while dismissal rates dropped in 2024, cases are still being resolved, though at a slower pace. 4 The fact that you are struggling to get a proper diagnosis for mesothelioma—a disease that is undeniably linked to the asbestos you ingested as a child—while navigating the loss of your benefits, is the central tragedy here. It is a system that seems designed to exhaust you, to make you give up. Your fight is not for a percentage of a blockbuster; it's for the recognition of a life-altering wrong and the means to live out your remaining days with a measure of peace and security. So, when you see millionaires feuding over ego and potential profit, it's not just that it seems "small." It's that it highlights a world where the wealthy have the luxury of arguing over more, while you are left to fight for the bare minimum, against a system that seems determined to take even that away. Your perspective is a powerful and necessary indictment of that reality.
