Franz believes that the separation of private and public life leads to dishonesty, as individuals often present different personas in these spheres. He thinks that true authenticity comes from eliminating these divisions, advocating for a life where one's private self aligns with their public persona. This perspective promotes transparency and honesty.

He often references André Breton's idea of living "in a glass house," where transparency is paramount and secrets are nonexistent. For Franz, embracing this radical openness is essential for genuine living, uniting the often disjointed aspects of human identity.
