Deep Knowledge Group General Partner Dmitry Kaminskiy’s 2020 book, Longevity Industry 1.0: Defining the Biggest and Most Complex Industry in Human History, distilled the complex assembly of deep market intelligence and industry knowledge that Deep Knowledge Group and its Longevity-focused subsidiaries (including Longevity.Capital and Aging Analytics Agency) have developed over the previous 7 years into a full-scope understanding of the Global Longevity Industry, sufficient to define the industry for the first time and to reliably forecast its future development.
So much activity has happened since the publication of that book in 2020, and its Second Edition in 2022, not to mention its follow-on books including Biomarkers of Human Longevity (2021), both within the Global Longevity Industry generally and within Deep Knowledge Group itself, that the time has come not only to release an updated Third Edition second edition of Longevity Industry 1.0, but to launch a dedicated series of follow-on books, including Biomarkers of Human Longevity (2021), Longevity Financial Industry (forthcoming), and Longevity Politics (forthcoming), and culminating in the as an updated prelude to release of its official formal sequel, Longevity Industry 2.0 - DeepTech Engineering the Accelerated Trajectory of Human Longevity: The Blueprint and Pathway from Longevity Industry 1.0 to 2.0.
This series of books is based on Deep Knowledge Group’s characteristically data-driven and quantitative approach, and all of the specific domains they focus on will need tangible metrics for forecasting, analysis, progress-tracking, and measurement of outcomes for real-world execution. Their major aim is to help major industry decision makers on-board the practices and frameworks required maintain stable industry growth, bridge the Longevity Industry Liquidity Gap, enable actual Practical Human Longevity, neutralize the vast gap from model organisms to humans, and accelerate the socially-inclusive delivery of Longevity’s real-world humanitarian impacts for citizens and national economies.
Chapter 1. Top Facts and Myths About Longevity
Top 10 Longevity Myths
-
Aging doesn’t matter until you get old.
-
“Life extension” means being older for longer, prolonging your final years of frailty.
-
Longevity Industrialization will increase overpopulation.

Healthspan extension is still futuristic and experimental
-
I can’t do anything about my own Longevity today.
-
I’ll need to wait for the experimental medicines of the future to radically extend my own Healthy Longevity.
-
Doctors already know how to prolong Longevity. If there was more I could be doing, my doctor would have already told me about it.
