Raise the Black Flag is a pickup book. Beginning to think this guy is a troll.

Please parse this statement out for us.

"Shark" is the pen name of a PUA instructor who has retired from the field to pursue his business interests.  He published a book: "The Black Flag: The Way of the Alpha"

The "Project Mayhem" reference comes from Fight Club, the book & movie that had such an impact on young men everywhere a decade & a half ago.  I kind of respect Shark's take on the concept: "Women are not the enemy, the world around you is not the enemy. You are always your own worst enemy. What is the challenge when you are trying to get over an ex girlfriend? Not her, it is your own fear of losing her. What is the challenge when you are approaching a girl at a bar? Not her, it is your own fear of being rejected. What is the challenge when you are not as successful as you want to be? Not your circumstances, but your inability to sacrifice your very being to one, single, purpose. Become legendary, sacrifice what you are for what you can become. The struggle has always been an internal one. If you want the world to change, change yourself first. "
