Lior: Some people in the department think that they are wiser than what they really are
John: I am really wiser than what I think I am.
John’s statement is paradoxical (and funny). It looks similar to famous paradoxical self referential statements but it has some twist.

But in this case there’s a difference: a representation of your mind in your own mind can’t be lossless, so we may expect that we can’t fully understand/represent our own wiseness.
