What exactly is the middle ground between randomness and determinism?
Pre-determined, on the other hand, it's not incompatible with free will (precisely because free-will doesn't mean "randomness" -- it just means it's not imposed upon you by an external agent.

That is, you are your history (and JUST that), and the only decision your self could make is a decision based on its precise history, which is exactly what it makes every time.
To me this seems to just push the problem a bit around. How does your self evolve over time? How does it make decisions? Is it deterministic or random? Or again what could a middle ground be?

That's a simplistic dichotomy.
