Is The Point Of Self Inquiry To Ask A Bunch Of Questions Until You Remain Questionless?

Nah it's about being curious about yourself and asking questions so you can better understand yourself.

Interesting. Not just to ask, but to experience as well though, imho. Question - Quest.

Questions are to make you shut up and listen.

Enlightenment is deconstructing what you know about yourself and what you know about reality.  It's about getting out of the delusion of the mind.  Thought-stories are abstractions laid on top of reality.  The Self is omnipresent which means it's everywhere.  Reality is what is happening right now, it's not impacted by any belief, concept, or theory.  Start to inquire into each and every belief you have about what is real.  Do this, don't try to bypass it with some easy answer.  You need to see the truth not understand it conceptually.  You can only see the truth by unraveling your beliefs about reality.  You'll realize all your beliefs about reality are false and illusory.  But that is not a conceptual understanding alone.  It should shake-up the core of what you believe you are.  If this isn't happening, your Self-Inquiry is proceeding in too shallow of a manner.  Go on the journey.  Grab the bull by the horns and dig into Self-Inquiry.

You live in an augmented reality -- augmented by your concepts, images, fantasies, and desires.

Enlightenment is like deconstructing a magic-trick.  Once you understand the trick, you can't be tricked by it anymore.

The reality is unphantomable by human language, concepts and terms. If you are clever enough, you know, that either infinity is just a concept of human mind, so that all what Leo is saying about infinity being substance of reality is bullshit.

If you want to find wisdom cheaply, it is better to watch The Simpsons rather than some senile sages on Youtube.
