Highly specific question, BUT since Bill is into eyes and I have this condition myself, I am very curious: What are Bill’s thoughts on lazy eyes or eye drifts (which is basically just the early stages of lazy eye)

I'm assuming that in this case "lazy eye" could be referring to both strabismus and strabismus-induced amblyopia.

He finds it a little goofy that human brains often just shut off one eye if they're pointed too far apart, and if they don't they get double vision. "Oh nooo I don't know how to synthesize these two pictures into one 3D picture, I guess I'd better turn off one picture completely—" you buffoon of a brain, you coward, you joke of evolutionary biology, why don't you just synthesize the two pictures into one widescreen panoramic picture without depth perception? You know how many earthling species have eyes on opposite sides of their heads and somehow can handle that input just fine? If he'd been put in charge of designing human brains he would've made the "synthesize two pictures into one picture" software robust enough to handle a lot more more than slight differences in what each eye sees, but the forces of evolution didn't ask him.

But as far as the physical appearance of it, it's fine. He doesn't put much thought into it past "oh that's slightly weird for humans. (positive)" If only one eye works or sees clearly he'll make eye contact with that one when he talks to the person, if both work equally he'll pick one. In triangle mode he might double himself to look into both at the same time, which I imagine might be a trippy view if a brain that's used to seeing totally different things with each eye is suddenly seeing the same object with both.
