Finally we'll have really big brains because the limit on human intelligence up to now has been set by the size of the brain that will pass through the birth canal. But now that we have a cesarean people could pump their babies brain size be genetics and get something like this:

Although don't get too excited because body's chemical messengers responsible for our mental activity are relatively slow-moving. This means that further increases in the complexity of the brain will be at the expense of speed. We can be quick-witted or very intelligent, but not both.
But there are also electronic circuits where signals are electrical, not chemical, and travel at the speed of light, which is much higher.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
