A literal moment in time has zero duration; you can't "experience" it in the normal sense of the word. To think the thoughts you outline above ("in the next few moments...") you need to pick some kind of time-granularity. But why, and how do you pick it?
If you deny existing as a subjective person over time, then it seems you ought to deny existing for any length of time at all.
Not really - pick them all! Let a thousand (overlapping) time-periods bloom. Let any history-fragment-persons who endure long enough to make a decision, favor whichever history-fragment-length they like.
