Introduction to The philosophy of history

Hegel's concept of the Geist is correct so far as we as individuals, society, the world, are all an amalgamation of all that has come before us. As individuals we are essentially our experiences and what are they but our environment. Where it breaks down is trying to make this into more than it actually is. Just because we are moving, constantly transferring knowledge, does not mean that we are moving towards something "good". It does not mean that the world is a project with an end goal. There is no reason to attach morality nor purpose to the concept of Geist, but I suppose it is much harder for a moralist to accept such a limitation.
