https://www.julianjaynes.org/resources/articles/the-origin-o... implies (if I'm understanding correctly what it is) that in 1973 Jaynes was saying that he had already been thinking for many years about "a new theory of consciousness".

Nagel's paper was published in 1974.

So unless the thing Jaynes said in 1973 he'd been thinking about for a long time was something quite different from what he published a book about in 1976 (which seems super-unlikely to me), Nagel's paper can't have had much to do with it.
