the first stage of consciousness was direct, immediate sensory experience.
second stage was conceptualizing experience, concepts, language ('dead metaphors' of lived experience).
third stage will be consolidating concepts themselves at scale. meaning, with AI-assisted thought, we will soon become as alienated from primary concepts as we are currently from the visceral/sensory information encoded in them. we will be meta-conceptual.
a 'post-language' that subsumes all conceptual language.
