Simplified Meaning:

The speaker is saying they are somewhere in between being very smart and very foolish. They understand that they don’t know everything, but they also aren't clueless. It's similar to how most people are good at some things and not so good at others. For example, imagine a person who can cook well but can't fix a car. They might say this quote to express that while they know how to make a great meal, they wouldn't know the first thing about repairing an engine. This helps show humility and self-awareness; you know your strengths and weaknesses and accept them. Such a mindset can make you open to learning and turning to experts when needed, which is a practical way to navigate through life.
