Transientism is the idea that each conscious entity has more than one successive mental self asso-ciated with that entity's bodily self. You are a transientist if you believe that there was or will be a mental self S associated with your bodily self, and S is not identical to you — the subject that exists at the present moment. Strong transientism asserts that with each moment of experience a new self is born. This position rejects diachronic personal identity: each particular moment of experience corresponds to a separate subject, numerically not identical to any other subject.
